If you gargle soluble paracetamol it helps abit. Nothing will work as good as antibiotics though, so get yourself to the doctors and get some. My sister had it a few weeks ago and she was really bad with it, she is still not 100% but the antibiotics take away the infection.
She was told to take paracetamol and ibubrofen every 4 hours. The ibuprofen helps with the swelling and the paracetamol helps with the temperature. She tried the sprays and stuff but they didn't really help her, she had it really bad though she had green and yellow stuff on her tonsils!!
